NEW! Ukulele Kids Club at the KEYS Program!
To a child, cancer treatments can be pretty scary. The KEYS Program is so excited to partner with the Ukulele Kids Club organization to harness the power of music to improve the well being of our KEYS kids through the donation of ukuleles and the support of music therapy, they help us give the gift of music for life.
This year the UKC has donated 6 ukuleles for us to give to our KEYS kids so we may implement a Ukulele Kids Club progam at KEYS! Each KEYS kid has received a new Kala ukulele, with case, tuner and gets together with our music therapist each week virtually to learn, play and smile!
The UKC (Ukulele Kids Club) is an international charity that has helped thousands of children around the world to overcome the stress, anxiety and health challenges of serious health conditions.
We are honored to partner with them on our shared missions --- to help kids with cancer to just be kids!
New! Monthly Workshop Series!
The KEYS Program has launched a new monthly virtual workshop series for parents, adults, caregivers and the community where our amazing music therapists will share all things music therapy.
The workshops will be live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube so viewers can ask questions and participate. Recordings of the workshops will be available 24/7 on our KEYS Kids Network & Music Hub!
Big thanks to our foundation partner the Tony Stewart Foundation who helps to make programs...and smiles...like these possible year round!
